The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer, version 1.0, used with:
   - Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.0, 3.2 
- Microsoft Visual Basic Standard Edition for Windows, version 2.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to access a custom form created using version 1.0 of Microsoft
Electronic Forms Designer, a Windows general protection fault (GP fault) may
occur.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs when you choose the Run command from within Visual Basic
before the executable file (EXE) is built.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Visual Basic version 2.0. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If you create a custom form within Visual Basic and issue the Run command from
the Toolbar (or if you choose Start from the Run menu), the executable file
created using the Make .EXE command may be corrupted. If you run the project at
design time, perform the following steps before you create an executable file:

1. From the File menu, choose Save Project to save the project.

2. From the File menu, choose Exit to close Visual Basic.

3. Re-launch Visual Basic and open the E-form project.

4. From the File menu, choose Make EXE to build the project.
